Fai la conoscenza del cavallo Fjord Norvegese

La razza equina nazionale

Siamo nati qui, nella Norvegia dei fiordi, tra alte montagne e fiordi profondi.

Ed è da qui che abbiamo preso il nostro nome.

Siamo una delle razze equine più antiche al mondo e una delle tre razze originarie della Norvegia.

Abbiamo percorso costantemente queste valli e montagne per centinaia di anni!

Siamo piccoli ma muscolosi e abbastanza forti da portare una persona adulta.

Siamo intelligenti e docili, il che ci rende tranquilli e affidabili - e perfetti sia per i cavalieri più giovani sia per i più maturi.

Lo sapevi che veniamo utilizzati anche per l’equitazione terapeutica?

Possiamo trasportare e trainare una bella quantità di carichi pesanti, il che in passato ha fatto di noi gli animali da basto ideali per le fattorie di montagna.

E siamo facili da riconoscere. Basta dare un’occhiata al look della nostra criniera!

Dev’essere l’acconciatura più punk rock di tutta la scuderia, vero?

La caratteristica striscia nera dorsale si fa davvero notare quando i nostri crini sono tosati corti ad arco ...

È facile distinguerci anche per il nostro mantello falbo e le macchie scure sulle gambe.

Alcuni di noi presentano perfino strisce zebrate su ginocchi e stinchi!

La nostra andatura costante ti accompagnerà senza pericoli in ogni avventura a cavallo.

Ma nonostante le nostre particolari qualità le nostre specie sono a rischio. Ad oggi siamo rimasti solo in 5.500 in Norvegia.

Semplicemente non nascono ogni anno abbastanza puledri.

Troverai i cavalli Fjord in altri paesi, come in Danimarca, Olanda e Germania, ma è la Norvegia a vigilare sulla preservazione della nostra razza.

L’annuale esposizione degli stalloni a Nordfjordeid è una grande attrazione. Una volta lì puoi visitare anche il Norwegian Fjord Horse Centre.

Pur essendo originari di Nordfjord, nella Norvegia dei fiordi, puoi venire a conoscerci in tantissimi posti in tutto il paese.

Come al parco Langedrag Nature Park, che ospita un simpatico branco e gestisce un programma di riproduzione per preservare la nostra specie. Già che ci sei puoi anche fare una passeggiata a cavallo o perfino provare il volteggio – cioè eseguire degli esercizi ginnici su un cavallo!
